It’s Time to Address the Urgent Need for Water Equity with the Delta Conveyance Project 

 Rev. Jonathan Moseley November 20, 2024

In California, access to clean water is not only a growing concern—it is a crisis, especially for communities of color. This lack of access to safe, reliable drinking water is more than a matter of infrastructure; it’s a profound environmental injustice that continues to erode the health and livelihoods of millions of residents and California families. With our changing climate and extreme weather patterns growing worse by the year, we must take decisive action to protect water security for all Californians.

When a Plan Comes Together Top of Form

For those of you who follow my column, you know a couple of months ago, I shared about one of my dear friends since childhood, Dr. Yvonne Cagle, who has amazing accomplishments, and yet there were a couple of things she was still hoping (and deserving) to achieve during her lifetime, but the right team needed to come together in order to help make it happen.

They Chose Barabbas; Now What You Gone Do

On the night of the election, I did not go to any of the watch parties because I didn’t want to get caught up in all that emotion, I wanted to keep my thinking cap on.  Like the majority of Black people, I was hopeful that our dear sister would win, but I made it a priority to keep my feelings in check, not allowing myself to get too high or too low regardless of what the outcome would be.

“30 Seconds of OOO La La!” Part 2 

Dr. Jeanette ParkerNovember 6, 2024

Amnon, Tamar’s brother, is not the only one in the ancient family of patriarchs who suffered from lustful desires and acted them out. There’s a difference between wanting something or someone and making moves to possess and satisfy the desires, whether sexual or material or whatever they may be.

What is Best For Our Country Moving Forward

Wendy GladneyNovember 6, 2024

 This article is being written on the eve of the Nov. 5th election.  As I put pen to paper, we still do not know who the winner in the various races will be, especially for the highest office of the land, but what I do know is the one who holds tomorrow and that ultimately God is in control. We cannot put our trust in man (or woman) but rather in a higher power that is in control of everything.

America’s Next Chapter: The Case for Kamala Harris

Special to the Sentinel from Chair of National DNC Convention, Minyon MooreNovember 2, 2024

As Maya Angelou said, “When people show you who they are, believe them.” We closely know Kamala Harris, who she is, what she believes, why she cares and that she’s ready to get to work for all Americans. Harris has spent her entire career in public service. It’s a path she chose because of her deep belief in freedom, opportunity and justice — the promise of America.

30 Seconds of OOO La La!   

Dr. Jeanette Parker October 30, 2024

This will prove to be quite a family saga. Esau and Jacob were in the womb at Rebekah’s same time. The birthright was the object of Jacob’s desire. Why? Because there were elements of superior recognition and fame, the benefits alone gave reason for the birthright to be desired.

Is it Time for a Sabbatical? 

Wendy Gladney October 30, 2024

Over the past couple of years, I learned that several of my colleagues and friends were able to experience sabbaticals. What caught me by surprise when I heard this news was whenever I heard about sabbaticals, it was connected to the academic world. I did not know those of us in the nonprofit world should consider this philosophy.

Yes on Measure G to Build a Fairer, More Accountable LA County 

Nichelle Henderson October 30, 2024

For far too long, the people of Los Angeles County have lived with a system of government that doesn’t reflect who we are or serve the needs of all our communities. Measure G is our opportunity to change that—to build a County government that is not only more accountable but also more representative of the diverse voices that make up this great region.
